Fold 'em?

Snake-eyes

Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect that DPW "bowing out" of the port deal and "handing over control" to an American entity is just so much shady dealing and book cooking a la Enron and Halliburton's offshore subsidiaries?

Hell, I wouldn't be all that surprised if either company ended up in the driver's seat--well, actually Enron would be about as long a shot as there is. Halliburton, though, is a different story...

And there's no way this will fade from the headlines, which is good, politically speaking: Team Shrub, meet your petard. Commence hoist.
